An Active Inductor Based Low Noise Amplifier for RF Receiver

Abstract: Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) is a significant part in Radio Frequency (RF) receivers and plays a key role in the chip size and the implementation cost. An LNA for RF receivers utilizing the active inductor is presented. The proposed design is an alternative solution to overcome the usage of passive inductors to reduce the chip area. Besides, the active inductor reduces the parasitic capacitors affect at high frequencies. Designed in 0.18-µm CMOS process, the LNA achieves a voltage gain of 20dB, a minimum Noise Fi… Show more

“…Moreover, they are not suitable for RF circuits where high Q factor and high inductance are required. Active inductor is one of the promising solutions to overcome these limitations [16,17]. Therefore, in this study, an active inductor based bandpass filter design is proposed for 2.4 GHz ISM band RFID transponder.…”

“…In the 1980s, the power MOSFET appeared as the dominant power device due to its high-switching frequency operation (above 100 kHz), easier driving requirement and higher reliability [10]. With the rapid development of CMOS technology, many variations of CMOS voltage regulators have appeared [12][13]. There are several types of voltage regulators such as LDO linear regulator, Switch-Inductor Regulator (switching regulator) and Switch-Capacitor Regulator (charge pump) [4].…”
